The ingredients are quite simple: 2 man living in remote cabins, winter, a terrible snowstorm, 2 dogs and a meteor crashing down to earth. The meteor isn't the problem but the parasite is... as soon as the parasite befalls Doc an Con the story takes off and directions of , The Thing, Tommyknockers or Cujo. Absolutely enjoyed the eerie atmosphere, the characters and the parasite. Will anybody survive the alien attack? This was the hell of a novella and one of the best winter horrors I came across in quite a while. Loved the alien element and page turning action. Highly recommended!

“Noro” is fast paced, chillingly violent, and chock full of body horror.
If you’re looking for a quick mashup of scifi, thriller, survival, splattery fiction then look no further. After a meteor crashes to earth, a parasitic entity is unleashed onto nearby residents.
I did find the plot similar to a few other tales, as well as the movie/book “Dreamcatcher”. I also have a hard time with violence against animals, but it didn’t affect my rating, I knew what would happen going into the book. It would’ve been nice to get more from the creature’s perspective. Why is it killing the host it so desperately needs to survive? How is this sustainable?
Thank you to Cemetery Dance and the author for a copy!

Noro pulses forward with frenetic energy as it devolves into a tale of true terror. Gray’s ability to balance horror and emotion is on full display as this story bleeds claustrophobia and paranoia, all wrapped in a ton of heart.

Jonah and Con are neighbors and an approximation of friends. Con is a younger, affable man. Jonah is an older curmudgeonly type who lives alone with his dog Noro, and the guilt of what happened to his wife. He thinks he needs no help preparing for the storm, but this is his first winter at the cabin.
There's more to worry about than being snowbound when a meteor crashes in the woods. Con and his dog are the first ones on the scene, and unfortunately for them, the meteor has carried something alien and deadly to earth.
I loved the interaction between Jonah and Con. Even though Jonah seems to sometimes resent that his younger friend knows more than he does, when it really counts Jonah steps up to help. This was a perfect read for a cold winter's day. It's an adrenaline-fueled sci-fi horror that the author has also managed to pack with loss, grief, sacrifice, and gruesome body horror. I don't know how such a vast amount of sorrow and apprehension fit into 132 pages.

This was a wild ride! If you liked The Thing then this is right up your street. Absolutely loved it!

Oh Noro, you sweet girl.
This was a fast read for me, but it wasn't easy on my heart. If you are a fur lover, read with caution because the fur baby is going to suffer (not the most horrible things I've ever read but heartbreaking none the less).
Is this completely fresh and never seen before horror content? Not really. But if you love alien based horror and body snatcher stories, this is a great one to grab!
And let's also take a moment to appreciate the gorgeous cover!

Note: This review originally appeared on my website.
Mark Twain wrote in his autobiography that “There is no such thing as a new idea. … We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope.” Meanwhile, film critic Gene Siskel once advised filmmakers not to take time out of their picture to remind audiences of other, better flicks they could be watching instead, such as when characters are shown watching a well-known scene from a piece of highly regarded cinema, or the camera knowingly lingers on a movie theater’s marquee. We shouldn’t be reminded that we could be watching The Shining when we’re stuck sitting through Drop Dead Fred.
These two axioms were at the forefront of my mind when reading William F. Gray’s Noro. Noro involves a meteor carrying an alien parasite crashing into the Wyoming woods in the middle of a savagely violent snowstorm. A young man named Con goes to investigate, but his German Shepard, Doc, gets away from him and ends up infected. Mayhem ensues, and Con’s neighbor Jonah, and his dog Noro, are caught up in the mix and struggling to survive. Noro — the book, not the dog — is a mishmash of familiar ideas and concepts, a kaleidoscope of influences that are ultimately better on their own than stitched together as they are here. Gray borrows from works like John Carpenter’s The Thing and the Alien flicks, along with Stephen King’s Cujo and Dreamcatcher, and tries to take various components from each of these to create a slick horror novella that never feels as fresh as any of its inspirations. Not even Dreamcatcher.
Somewhere along the way, Noro reminded me of a third axiom: familiarity breeds contempt. I’ve read so many similar scenes and set-pieces as Gray’s elsewhere plenty of times before, or seen them played out in movies and television, that having them all appear here in mandatory checklist fashion left me bored. It’s all so rote and dull. We have the requisite bit involving one human survivor getting infected and hiding it. The creature that was thought dead turns out to not be so dead after all and springs back to life. And, of course, as these types of horror stories often do, it ends with a cliffhanger indicating that not only has nothing been truly resolved, but the worst is just getting started.
To his credit, Gray spares little expense in doling out the violence, and Noro is consistently at its best when it’s at its bloodiest. Given that good doggo Doc is infected early on, it probably comes as little surprise that there is a plethora of both human and animal violence. Doc’s infection is gruesomely detailed as the alien parasite sets up residence inside the dog’s body and makes itself at home, and then proceeds to attack Con and Jonah both, chasing them through the woods intent on chomping the hell out of them both.
Readers sensitive to harm brought against animals may want to avoid Noro given the merciless violence inflicted upon Con’s canine companion, but for me that wasn’t even the worst of it. No, the true horror, and what ultimately drew my contempt into outright anger, was Noro’s editing, or rather the complete lack of it. When reviewing advance reader copies, reviewers aren’t supposed to get hung up on typos and textual errors. Most ARCs are even labeled as an “Uncorrected Proof” to warn potential reviewers that the book hasn’t yet gone through the rigorous process of editing and proofreading. However, most publishers do their best to present their advance readers with a book that is mostly polished and largely representative of what will soon be hitting bookstores. I can count on one hand the number of ARCs I’ve had to quit simply because they were so riddled with typos. That Noro comes out in less than a month and this recently-supplied ARC is so positively riddled with errors is absolutely mind-boggling to me. At only 132 pages, it’s beyond absurd that every few pages there are enough typos, and missing or repetitious words or phrases to make reading Noro a downright painful experience. It upset me, and I spent much of my time reading Noro in an active state of hostility toward the text. Even the table of contents on my electronic galley has a mistake, for fuck’s sake! Some examples: In one instance, we’re told that Doc’s one remaining eye remained locked on Con. In another, after Doc has tackled Con to the ground and is face to face with the man, Gray writes that “The snapping of Doc’s jaws sounded impossibly close…” This isn’t impossibly close, dear readers — IT IS CLOSE! Later, Jonah chides himself over a 20-year-old first aid kit and not having the foresight to buy a new one sooner, if not a long a time ago. If the issue is the kit being old to begin with, why would he want to have bought one an even longer time ago? Another time, Gray finds Doc’s wet, bloody, snow-covered fur to be of such importance that he proceeds to tell us about it for two sentences in a row in nearly the exact same way. In addition to a number of other goofs, like odd sentence constructs, inserting words that shouldn’t be there or forgetting to include words that would make a sentence sensible, and occasionally not knowing when to use “an” before a word beginning with a vowel, I found myself having to spend far too much of my time trying to make actual sense of what I was reading and trying to decipher what the author was attempting to say. I was often and repeatedly yanked out of the story by one glaring mistake after another. If I had received a printed copy of Noro in this condition, I would have thrown that damn thing across the room in a fit of anger a dozen times or more.
I can only hope that the version of Noro Cemetery Dance releases for sale has been significantly cleaned up and corrected, otherwise they should be embarrassed to sell this in its current condition. I would also advise potential readers looking to add this to their collection to verify that Noro has, indeed, been properly edited before purchasing. Reading this uncorrected ARC of Noro is like watching a new big-budget blockbuster, only one in which the director and editor forgot to remove all the bloopers and ruined takes before the premiere. I will admit that this sloppy mess severely clouded my opinion of Noro well before I even hit the half-way mark (I debated DNFing this book numerous times due to the total lack of editorial oversight, but stuck with it simply to kill time until the Tuesday release of another title I was highly anticipating), but given Gray’s slavish devotion to presenting familiar tropes in ways that have already been done to death it wouldn’t have been by much. This is a B-movie type of book given a D- presentation. On the bright side, I don’t expect I’ll ever have to read about glittens quite so frequently ever again.

As a terrible blizzard hits rural Wyoming, Jonah Miller and his neighbor Con start planning to be trapped and isolated in their cabins for some time with their dogs. However, Con’s dog Doc gets out in the middle of the storm after a strange meteor crashes out in the woods near their home. Now, Jonah and Con will soon realize there is a lot more to fear than just the snow and the cold.
For fans of The Troop by Nick Cutter, Cujo by Stephen King, and The Thing by John Carpenter comes Noro! This is a very quick read but it definitely packs a punch. The author does an amazing job at fleshing out the characters even with a short story, making the emotions run wild with this one. As a fan of everything this takes inspiration from I knew I had to read it and I’m so happy I did. The suspense, the body horror, the trauma it’s all there. Noro and Doc have my heart and Jonah is such a great character.

You know a horror book is good when you have to take a break because it's getting too tense and/or scary. I had to save the climax for this one till morning. Jonah is an older man living alone in a cabin in Wyoming, spending his first winter there after previously only using it during the summer. He's befriended by a younger man, Con, who tries to show him the ropes, but Jonah thinks he's got it all figured out. A mistake, obviously.
On the surface this is a pretty straightforward The Thing-esque story of survival in a brutal winter landscape; throughout is woven a thread of grief and regret. Excellent storytelling.

Lassie meets The Thing in this deliciously deadly tale from William Gray. It's a short read, made quicker by the fast-paced, action packed narrative. The story is heartfelt and I was pretty stressed throughout - the literary equivalent of hiding behind my fingers! The gore is sprinkled in liberally but is never gratuitous. I found the whole thing wildly entertaining and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Trigger warning: animal death and mutilation
A story of two men and their dogs begins with a friendship and ends in horror. Jonah, a 67 year old man, lives in a cabin, with his elderly dog, Noro, deep in the woods of Wyoming. His closest neighbor is Con, a younger man, with his dog, Doc. Jonah appears to tolerate Con, a giving young man, who is trying to help Jonah, especially since the death of his wife and estrangement of his two sons.
After a short dinner together, Jonah and Noro head home to hunker down for a massive snow storm. Con is doing the same thing until he sees a bright flash of light toward Jonah’s cabin. He and Doc go to investigate and find that a large meteor has landed. It isn’t until Con hears his dog whine that he knows something is terribly wrong. What he sees when he finds Doc is beyond belief. He is sweating blood. But dogs don’t sweat! How can that be possible? He realizes his best friend, Doc, has been taken by something from the meteor. It grows and takes what it can from his beloved pet until he has no other option to shoot him.
But guess who hears the shot? His neighbor, Jonah, who doesn’t realize how much his friendship with Con has meant to him until he faces some very difficult decisions. This is when the horror begins. What takes control of Doc is hard to kill, it wants to find hosts and there is no way that it is going to miss an opportunity. It wants to infest and procreate.
And then there is the ending when we can finally take a sigh of relief from all the blood and gore. Yes there is blood and gore. But, is it the ending to end it all. Maybe another short novella with more and more blood and gore?
And Noro, what does happen to Noro? Will she be a survivor in this terror?
This is a quick read, 136 pages, with enough gore to satisfy any horror buff. The characters are good and well thought out, even the dogs. I enjoyed this very much, but I always enjoy a read from William F Gray.

Okayyyy I loved this little story.
It follows two men living in rural Wyoming cabins. Both men have a canine pal and they are preparing for an intense snowstorm. The night the storm comes, one of the men is awoken by a loud crash and discovers a fallen meteorite. This sets off a night of blood and violence and the men are suddenly fighting for their lives.
This was such a great read. Short and to the point but had me gripped and flying through the pages. In a short story like this it’s hard to have fleshed out characters but I found myself rooting for these two men anyway. This story felt like a 90 min horror movie which I LOVE. When the terror gets going it does not let up for a second. This story is wild and well written.
check this out if you like gory stories, winter is coming and this is a perfect read for a chilly night.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4
I think the strongest points for this one are the relationships between the characters, the stuff that has to do with the dogs, and the gore. The concept itself is also pretty solid, but the narration can be a bit clunky; there are some chapters that feel awkwardly short (though I do understand what the author was going for, with the whole cinematic feel) and some of the wording becomes less stylish and a bit more frustrating.
But for the most part it's a fun, easy enough (I only took so long because I didn't read anything for like a week) story and, did it make me tear up? Of course, it did, it has dogs in it, how could it not.

Thank you to Cemetery Dance for providing a review copy.
I've greatly enjoyed William F. Gray's previous books and jumped at the chance to read Noro. The writing is tight and fraught with tension. I cared for the characters quite a bit, and went on a very emotional ride with them. The weather is just as much of a threat as the meteor, and almost becomes another character as well. Ice cold and atmospheric, Noro hurt my heart and gave me real world anxiety. 5 stars

I normally stay away from Sci-Fi genres as I never had much of an interest in them. This was a really great novella that I feel was light on the Sci/Fi aspects. You could feel the bond between the men and their dogs. I can only hope there is a second in the works!

Excellent horror novella.
February 12, 2025
Fast-paced horror that is vastly different from so much out there in the horror world right now. Gray gives us characters we care about and blends gruesome horror with touching moments all on the same page. This is a page turner you won’t want to put down.

Front the start, this story really sunk its teeth in me. I was hooked and couldn't stop! The tension and sense of dread kept me gripping the book tightly as I eagerly read through.
Jonah being so opposed to any of Con's advice and help made him into such an unlikeable person, but I understood him. He was real.
I really loved the illustrations throughout the book. I'm a big fan of art and I love a visual enhancement. Each illustration truly help to punctuate the sensation of the scene.
I highly recommend this book! It's a short and quick read, but it weighs on you like a heavy snow.

This book may be only 132 pages. But it is simply packed with horror. I may never go out into the snow again. A winter storm, a meteor, and an alien parasite, what more do need in a horror story. Jonah's letter at the end tore me up. So emotional.

It got into his dog, then it got into him, then got into me.
Moving deep into the isolated mountains of Montana, Jonah Miller was determined to put the misery of his wife Diane's death far behind him. Failing to replace the fuel pump in their aging car, and suddenly him entire world would crumble before his eyes. With his wife killed in the accident, both his son's turned their backs on him and fully blamed him for their mother's untimely death. His only companionship being that of his ten year old Blue Heeler named Nora, he was prepared to suffer out the rest of his years alone. Unfortunately, his younger neighbor; Constance (Con) Jennings refused to allow his to allow ans face his first winter in the noutains alone. With his German shepherd Doc as his companionship, he relishes the time him and Jonah got to spend as it can become quite lonely in the cold.

The white, worm-like creature slowly slithered from Doc’s corpse and landed on the hard floor of the shed. It was nearly a foot long and legless, without any sort of determinable features that Jonah could make out. It coiled into itself like a snake before one end of it slowly rose in the air. Jonah’s breath puffed out in front of him, coming quicker and quicker. The parasite—for that was surely what he was looking at—pointed in his direction. A low hiss emitted from it as the smooth white surface of its underbelly separated, revealing rows upon rows of barbed teeth. Pieces of Doc’s vertebrae still clung to some of them.
Half hungover from the beers they shared only an hour prior, Jonah never expected a meteor to fall from the sky and set in motion the end of his world. As Doc escaped and chased the snow to the site of the crash, Con frantically tried to catch up to his beloved pet especially after the yelps of pain he heard immediately after. Seeming to sweat blood, every part of his dog was drenched and every movement set off explosive pain. Bringing his dying dog back to the cabin, he watched in horror as the ribs broke from within his body as more blood seemed to weep from his pores. Spying a white worm creature pulling it's way into his deceased dogs skull, he was horrified when the carcuss came back to life. However, the soul of his dog was no longer inside this vessel as instead the parasite was handling the movements and the violence as Doc began attacking him. Badly bitten and wounded, he would fire a shot to Doc's head and somehow the animal would continue the assault. As Jonah leaves Noro behind and makes his way through the most treacherous snowstorm of his life, he will find the feverish and sickly Con steuggling to fend off his dog. Dragging the man through the snow and constantly trying to evade Doc, he makrs it back to his cabin where they are met with zero electricity and near freezing temperatures. Bringing warmth to his feverish friend, Con would begin throwing up tiny worms as the oastastie inside of him began ripping through his organs to reach his Brian. Armed with a heated knife, Con would carve through his stomach and chest to pull at the parasite but would loose too much blood and lose grip on it. Fully infected, Con laid in wait for Jonah to return from the shed where he finally succeeded in killing Doc.
“Most of this blood is his. He was like… sweating it, Jonah. Sweating blood.”
“His stomach was bloated. He looked almost pregnant. He died, Jonah. I watched him die.”
“Then something moved inside him.” The way he spoke the words sent a shiver down Jonah’s spine. “It broke his ribs, man. It worked its way up to his spine— his brain— and then stopped. Then he moved. His legs… they started moving. It was like he was relearning how to use them. His jaw, too.”
“Something came out of the meteor, Jonah.”
After finally setting up the CB radio on his roof, Jonah would return inside to discover his dog locked in his bedroom and the bloody massacre on the floor and mattress. As Com lunged out at him, he would fight with everything he got but would still be bitten and infected. Fighting through the fevers and nausea, he managed a call for emergency services but even then it'll be over three hours before help could reach their secluded location. Knowing he needs to end his own life to keep the parasites from spreading, he would right an explosion to burn Doc, Con and his own body beyond recognition in the backyard. As EMT made it to the scene, they would be disgusted by the gore and bloodshed and would make the fatal error of drinking from the jug of water Con previosuly infected. Spying the worms floating inside, two of the three were now carriers of the parasite. With the words from Jonah's note still fresh in everybody's minds, nobody could've predicted just how deadly that crash would mean as the parasitesbegin their searching for new hosts.
“I shot him. Twice. Once in the fucking head. And he didn’t die. Because he’s already dead, Jonah. He’s already dead.”
It got into his dog, then it got into him, then got into me.

Jonah has recently moved into a cabin in rural Wyoming, alone apart from his loyal blue heeler dog, Noro. He has befriended, albeit reluctantly, a man named Con who lives in a cabin nearby. Despite Jonah's frustration with his fussing and trying to help him, he still spends time hanging out and drinking beers with Con and the company of his dog, Doc, a German Shepherd. As a snowstorm begins to set in, and Jonah attempts to deal with catastrophic loss in his personal life, a meteor crashes into the woods nearby—and it's brought something with it...
Described in the synopsis as John Carpenter's The Thing meets Stephen King's Cujo, I can't think of a better summary. If you're familiar with the plot of the former, you'll immediately have a very good idea of where the story is going to go, and chances are you're correct. In his afterword, Gray refers to Noro as a 'true' horror novel, not one with a literary bend, and by and large this is true. There's a depth of emotion behind this book that the description and the author's own words don't really do justice. Both Jonah's past and how he came to be living in the cabin—which is told in flashbacks as the story progresses—and, for animal lovers, the present-day events are on occasion truly heartbreaking. I'd advise any dog owners to keep trigger warnings in mind (although if you're okay with The Thing, chances are you'll be alright here).
I found Noro to be a quick read; most chapters are short, and there's a momentum to the book that made me always want to read the next one. Despite this, the main characters feel fleshed out and vivid, and my desire to see the two men—and their dogs—get out of the terrible situation they've been thrust into really elevated what on paper is a fairly straightforward scary story. Some truly twisted and highly effective scenes of body horror and gore add a real sting in the book's tail, and Noro ends up feeling like much more than the sum of its obvious influences.

Whew boy did this short story really take me for a ride.... In it we find two neighbors, Jonah and Con, and their dogs, Noro and Doc, settling in for a wicked snow storm when one of the pairs encounters something worse than blizzard conditions out on the mountain.
This story is all about love, loss, grief, and the strength of companionship. It's been described as Cujo meets The Thing and that's really pretty accurate for the horror themes within. But like with any other Will Gray book, you're gonna get some heavy emotional aspects and world building that makes you feel for the MCs like they're old friends. These two feel so relatable, and their love for their furry friends is palpable throughout the story. The ending came fast and hard and was ultimately satisfying as hell. Another absolute banger from this author, so so glad I got to read this early on.
Keep reading for some spoilers:
Jonah's letter at the end kiiiiiiilled me 😭 Con's story about finding Doc also broke my heart, just because of how it all goes in the end. I did enjoy the parasite speaking with Jonah a little bit, as well as the bits with the creature's POV. I love that in these parasitic invader stories, makes it that much more horrific imo 🤷♀️

Man, what a well done novella. Super difficult to put down and the world building and characterization Gray manages to bring into just over hundred pages is really magnificent. Noro’s got it all: the bestest girl named Noro, snowy isolation horror, grief and body horror that rivals Cutter.
From the jump Gray makes it clear there’s some animal harm/death in this, so please exercise caution if that’s a trigger for you. Noro follows Jonah who lives in a desolate mountainous area of WY. His only real human contact is his neighbor, Con. A snow storm is expected and shit hits the fan when a meteor lands nearby.
Grays does an excellent job at crafting his protagonists. It was nice to have older, imperfect guys for a change. Jonah’s grief surrounding his wife’s death is still very raw and Con’s loneliness was so relatable. The story moves extremely fast and there’s very little down time in this one. The ending and epilogue felt perfect and fit the story well. I’ve really enjoyed Gray’s previous work and this was no exception. The story isn’t particularly novel, but Gray’s pacing and visuals stand out. Highly recommend.

The Thing meets Cujo! Though not breaking any new ground, "Noro" is a wonderful horror tale of straightforward cabin in the snow/body horror: lots of snow, a pair of cute doggos and an army of wormlike alien parasites crashing the scene of what might have developed into a deeply felt male friendship. Jonah, the main character, has lost his wife and he's very emotional about it; apparently, it was all his fault and can't stop feeling guilty about it. By his side there's Noro, his Blue Heeler, she's old and in pain. By his other side, there's Con, his neighbor and good friend and overall a good guy, trying to protect Jonah mostly from himself. He has his own dog, Doc, a German Shepherd. Enter the damn parasites. Unfortunately, their first strike is poor Doc, so prepare yourself for some horrific scenes.
Although the author seems to imply that this novella isn't as emotionally impactfull as his novels, I found the ending quite harrowing and disturbing. That said, it is indeed a tale of "pure horror," as he puts it, and I enjoyed it as such. Highly recommend fron me!

This was a great one sitting read. I planned on just reading part of it in one sitting, but; it grabbed me and I literally could "not put it down" as cliché as that sounds. I have actually known people who were much like the characters and the fleshing out of men in such a short book was very well done. This is not one of those complicated cosmic stories where you are not sure what was really going on when you get finished. It is quick, graphic, understandable and a great ride.
It certainly has The Thing vibes with a bit of zombie feel, you know the new fast zombies.. not the old slow ones. Animal trigger warnings, but; it was just so well done that it did not even bother me, it was integral to the story in this case.
I hope this gets put out as a paperback in the future, it will for sure go on the shelf. If you like cold weather isolation stories and/or animal attack stories, this is for you.

I was in the mood for a snowbound horror book when William asked me to read this ARC.
And, oh my, did this tickle that itch, plus then some.
By the end of this, I felt as if I had just read a 600-page novel instead of a novella. This story grips you by the ears and pulls you nose-to-nose while screaming in your face the entire time.
Calling this a rollercoaster feels like an understatement. This is more like driving a windy road in West Virginia at 30 mph over the speed limit -- it's jarring, slams you around emotionally, and feels like you are about to meet your doom very soon.
The story tackles other subjects besides the usual gore in horror -- loss, regret, depression, and all the other emotional side-effects that are tied to those. I could relate a lot to Jonah, as anyone with major regrets in life can.
No spoilers here, but I highly advise anyone looking for a shorter horror read to pick this up IMMEDIATELY.

4.5 stars rounded up. It snowed at my house, so it felt like the perfect time to immerse myself in Noro. I love isolation horror, and this was no exception.
The story was dark and exciting. Especially in the last third, I was totally sucked in. There were parts where I was yelling at the characters, so I was definitely invested in what happened. I was surprised at how emotional some parts were. In hindsight, there is literally a dog on the cover, so I have no idea why I didn't go into this fully expecting to cry. Noro was such a good girl.
The gory parts were well written and squirm-inducing. Aliens freak me out. Parasites are gross. All of the horror aspects really worked for me here.
The narration on the audiobook brought it to life. Derek Austin really crushed it and made you feel the emotions of the characters. I absolutely recommend the audio for this one.
If you are looking for a good winter horror, look no further!

Whew, this novella gets your heart pumping and adrenaline flowing. It's like Cujo meets Invasion Of The Body Snatchers with some body horror thrown on top.
Two men living near each other deep in the woods are soon going to be hunted when a meteorite crashes and unleashes a parasitic creature. It kills and lives within its victims, using them as puppets for the purpose of incubating their babies. And when one of the men's dogs gets infected, it's a terrifying pursuit of survival during a killer snowstorm. With no electricity or outside contact, the men must do whatever is necessary to survive.
This novella is bloody, thrilling, and never lets up once it starts. A banger from beginning to end, I highly recommend it.
I received an ARC of this book from the author. This review is voluntary and is my own personal opinion.

NORO by William F. Gray
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I LOVED this crazy & super creepy horror novella!
It’s a fantastic story! Con and Jonah are neighbors living in isolated cabins when an intense winter storm hits. They each have their dog companions to keep them company as they ride out the storm.
Shortly after the storm has started, Con finds his dog, Doc, hurt outside, by what looks like a meteor. He brings Doc back to the cabin to try and fix him up, but quickly realizes that Doc is no longer his sweet and loving dog.
What horror does this meteor hold? 🪱
This book is emotional, sad, horrifying and beautifully written! It’s a fast read and I was at the edge of my seat from start to finish!
Thank you to William Gray for an arc of this fantastic and intense novella!
*It’s out now and is a must read!!*
